I'd say an EP3 civic. They're zippy around town, decent fuel mileage, and not boring like a regular civic.
Plus, timing chain, hatchback, short shifter, decent seats

I owned an RSX Type S and thought the interior sucked ass. Its only saving grace was the K20A and 6 speed. Integras have nicer interiors.

I would 100% be going for an Acura TSX if I was in the camp for a car under 5k or maybe an IS300

Is this the aptly nick named 2 point slow engine lol good gawd...I that that was weird when I read it as there is no way in hell they put the 2.0T in that shitty City trim..This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yep all the maintenance has been done to my car... nothing but reliable and gets 600k to a tank in city all day. Sure it's slow but it's definitely a decent car even on the highway. Did totally fine going to Kelowna this past summer. Geared low but in 5th it holds just fine and accelerates no problem... just don't downshift haha.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I don't have a crazy income and it's even gonna be less now but I'm thinking a lot of v6 and 2.0 are going to be good on gas on the highway.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Any V8 with highway gears is going to be great for commuting, even an old pickup with the right gears would be good. I had some weird 1/2 ton gmc with that boat anchor of a Detroit diesel in it... and that thing would get 12L/100kms... with a hole in the fuel tank AND cruising at close to 150km/h
I highly recommend this, stick with an 06+ (before they had more oil burning issues). I had one a few years back, and honestly miss it as a daily a lot, just a great all around car and one of the slickest shifting transmissions around.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

This! My daily beater is an EP3 and it's super fun to throw around. Basically a base RSX with a unique shifter locationThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
In a similar category I had a Vibe GT for a while (6 speed) that was fun to throw around.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Fairly dirt cheap too (I got mine for half your budget)
Well I bought an EP3. Little rough around the edges cosmetically, but mechanically it's a really good car. I'll find out soon enough how good it is on the highway but so far so good.
Thanks for all the replies!
Congrats! Toss up some pics
